I’m looking to go into Usenet / premiumize / real Debrid but I don’t know which ones are reputable. Which ones have you all had luck with or liked? And what was the cost?

    No one said anything about privacy, so I’m not sure where you are getting that from.

    “Donation” please. Be real. Everyone knows that’s a pay to access scheme they are just calling donation. Don’t be obtuse. Do you get extra access for “donating?” Then you are paying, no matter what you want to call it.

    free indexers seem like easy honeypots

    Honey pots for what? Yeah few indexers on torrents definitely are. There would be no point in having one for Usenet. Downloading an NZB file is just telling you where to get the files in which newsgroups. Then you can access any news service of your choice to get it. You clearly don’t understand how Usenet works. You pick and choose who you want to connect with. Not so with P2P. You get what you get. Sure, there are blocklists, but they are outdated the minute they are updated.

      @HamSwagwich
      Woof, well I was genuinely trying to see the differences but I guess these weirdly aggro responses tell me thats gonna go nowhere. I learned a lil about Usenet, which is cool, happy to be wrong and have that corrected, hopefully u can figure out some way to communicate that might make someone want to help u out with how youre really wrong about the culture and tech of bittorrent too.

        Help me out? I don’t need help. I was using BitTorrent before you knew what it was lol. It’s just not as good a system as Usenet. If you like it, great keep using it, but don’t pretend that it’s somehow superior when it is objectively not for the purposes of piracy .

        You are the one trying to talk authoritatively about Usenet when you clearly don’t understand it. If you take my responses as “aggro” you might want to do some self reflection.
